to cheer or to just watch

Last night we traveled to Tuscaloosa to cheer on the Bucs as they played Hillcrest High. The stadium was fine, defnitely big enough and at least they had two sides unlike Mt. Brook. I wasn't loving the porta pottys on the visitor side but the bathrooms weren't far so it wasn't a big deal. The Patriots defnitely brought their best game and did well against Hoover but in the end the Bucs prevailed and we will play at home on Friday against Oxford. So that brings me to the people that go to the games and just sit and that is fine as long as you don't get mad at the people that are actually cheering and shaking the shakers and ringing the cow bells and standing up! Its a football game, not a movie! Once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader. I cannot go to a Hoover game or an Alabama game and just sit. Its more fun to shake the shaker, yell for the kids jump up when there is a good play or a bad call by the ref. Sometimes my jazz hands make an appearance but isn't that what its all about? I think sometimes fans of winning teams get a little complacent but when the kids on the field are doing the hand motion to us to stand up, you better believe I"m gonna stand up! Go Bucs!
